    Just found this video on youtube, but this guy makes some great diy car/truck videos IMO. Would be the same process on our Tundras and seems like a great/cheap way to add some bright bedlights for our trucks. I know I plan on doing this or something very similar to mine as it will be especially useful inside the diamondback to get stuff out when going out fishing early/late or just anytime really. Anyway just thought I'd post it to give people some ideas or a start to adding this to their truck.

    I know you might say it's easy and easier with the kit, but so it raising Ivy plants, and I still have killed my wife's 7 Ivy plants over the last 5 month.
